Deloris Marjorie Hoflen

Deloris Hoflen, age 85, went home to be with Jesus after a battle with cancer on September 24, 2023. Deloris was born October 26, 1937, to Oscar and Alma Hoflen in Britton, South Dakota, and joined her sisters Mavis and Gladys at the family home in Rutland, North Dakota.

Deloris spent many hours as a child with her father doing chores and earned the name “Little Oscar”.  She always had fond memories of those times and shared many stories of growing up in Rutland. 

After graduation, Deloris went on to earn her LPN license, moved to Montana and became a nurse. While living in Montana she met and married Dean Frolander. They had three children, Dora, Darlene, and Dale.  They later moved their family to Minnesota, where Deloris continued her nursing practice.

In 1978 the family moved back to Montana and bought a farm in Round Butte, outside of Ronan.  Later Dean and Deloris divorced, and Deloris bought a home in Ronan and worked at St Lukes Hospital, until she retired.

Deloris is survived by her children Dora (Allen), Darlene, and Dale (Vera), her 9 grandchildren and numerous great grandchildren, nieces, and nephews, whom she loved very much.
